The word Yellapu is derived from - Yellalu(Border) ape vadu(Blocker), the people of this clan were valiant warriors and they act as a shield by preventing the entry of foreign forces into the kingdom at the time of warfare and hence known as "అవసరానికి ఆదుకునీ ఎల్లప్పుడు కాపాడే ఎల్లాపులు" by the people (Yellapu - ఎల్లలు కాపాడేవాడు, ఎల్లలు ఆపే వాడు). There is also a saying "ellithe yellapu ellaka pothe gulapu" which means that, "one who can lead the princely life without any earning, just because of the wealth of his ancestors is called as yellapu".

Yellapus are kshatriya warriors. Kshatriya is one of the four varnas (social orders) in Hinduism. It constitutes the military and ruling order of the traditional Vedic-Hindu social system as outlined by the Vedas and the Laws of Manu.

Yellapus were Senapathis, Sainyadhikaris, Supreme warriors & even ruled the kingdom in the absence of the king. The were also small kings sourrounding the main kingdom. They were often been called as "Kind Hearted Rulers". They were part of battles as Kshatriyas and fought fearless till death. Hence, they are also known as "అవసరానికి ఆదుకునీ ఎల్లప్పుడు కాపాడే ఎల్లాపులు" by people. They were normally called as Dhora or Patel in the villages.

Yellapus are a "typical Kshatriya Clan"
